Porcelain to Metal

Porcelain fused to metal:
PFM restorations continue to serve as one of dentistry's primary restorative choices.  Our dedicated team of technicians create natural esthetics while maintaining function in all of our cases.   We use Ceramco 3 and Ivoclar's D-sign porcelain for our crowns and bridges fused to metal.

Advantages: longevity, superior strength, kindness to opposing dentition, ease of adjustment clinically, and natural enhanced esthetics.
Indications: full coverage crowns and bridges, metal colossal an option
Cementation: traditional cements, resin cements, glass ionomers.

Captek:
Excellent esthetics, strength, resistance to plaque and temperature stability are some of the advantages of Captek restorations.  The Captek crown uses a layer of palladium, platinum, and trace elements that is adapted to the die and fired.  The 22k gold layer is then adapted and fired.  This G material interpenetrates to skeletal mesh and then a ceramic binder is applied to create a coping ready for porcelain application.

Advantages: highly biocompatible and corrosion resistant, warm color at the gingival, less bacteria accumulation marginally
Indications: single crowns, three-unit bridges
Cementation: traditional cements, resin cements
